    I bought recently a Dell M90 with nvidia quadro FX2500 and the WUXGA LCD. Being brand new I have noticed that the LCD is not refreshing properly the text on the windows XP windows. When I move them over the desktop all the text appear blury and thicker and they recover the "normal" size as soon as you release the window. Instead if you scroll inside a window this is not happening. I reported this problem to Dell Spain and they told me that that´s the behaviour of the LCD because the low refresh rate, but in a external monitor with the same refresh rate (60hz) it doesn´t appear. Of course the problem is on the LCD because in clone mode with an external monitor the problem is only visible on the laptop´s monitor and not in the external. I´m a little bit confused and it is difficult to belive that one computer capable to move thousands of poligons isn´t able to refresh properly a simple text. If the problem would be the refresh I guess it would be noticeable also somewhere else. The thing is appearing at the maxium resolution (1920) and with different Dpi sizes and the only way to get rid of it is lowering the resolution a lot.
    I know there are more people out there with the same computer and I´d like to know if everybody is having the same problem. Dell Spain tested the same computer in-house and they got the problem as well, but it seemed that it was completely new to them, nobody complained before????
    I enclose a video when you can appreciate what I´m talking about

    Any help will be really appreciated

    Thanks in advance

    This is not a problem of refresh rate, but rather of LCD response time. Notebook LCDs, especially high-resolution ones, usually have much higher response times than desktop LCDs. So, the short answer is yes, this is normal for a notebook WUXGA LCD.
